@Flabyo Have they said how many pings they got? If they got more than 1 ping and they were all on that arc, it would indicate that the plane was stationary, surely?The former head of security for the United States’ Federal Aviation Administration insists that MH370 crew succumbed to fire.

I think the arc is based on the final ping they got. Having the whole lot doesn't really narrow much down, you just end up with a sausage shaped splurge, you still can't tell where in that shape it actually was, nor the actual direction. Even the 'arc' they're showing is hundreds of miles wide, it's a lot of ground and sea to cover.

On the one hand, fuck the Westboro Baptist Church and anyone associated with them. On the other, I heard he was excommunicated from the WBC, and anyone who manages to get on the wrong side of them deserves at least a second look. On the third hand (I have many extra hands) fuck him and his goddamn fucking fuckdamn fuck.

He was excommunicated from their church for advocating that people inside the church should be nicer to each other. Not nicer to anyone else, just nicer to their fellow members of their cult. Meaning the council of "elders" who assumed control of the church are even bigger assholes than Phelps.

No second looks, no sympathy. I don't dance on his grave but I'm happy he's dead so that he can't hurt anyone else.

In a backhanded way, Phelps and his ilk were extremely helpful in the push for gay equality. People who would normally have been indifferent or hostile to gay marriage and equality tended to end up supporting them because they didn't want to be on anywhere near the same side as those hateful WBC fucks.

What they didn't tell about this is that the wake-up procedure is for the gunshot victims to have a very coherent yet suitably surrealistic dream where they are in an alternate reality with most of the people they know, and they need to overcome an adversity and confront a great enemy so that they can wake up.
